How to reproduce benchmark results / run these benchmarks interactively.

1. Get an EC2 instance with Instance Store. Use the same instance type as used for the benchmark run.
2. Mount the Instance Store => neon.git/scripts/ps_ec2_setup_instance_store
3. Use a pytest command line (see other READMEs further up in the pytest hierarchy).

For tests that take a long time to set up / consume a lot of storage space, we use the test suite's repo_dir snapshotting functionality (from_repo_dir). It supports mounting snapshots using overlayfs, which improves iteration time.

Here's a full command line.
